Water Babies Shropshire, Mid Wales and The Black Country

Baby swimming with Water Babies is an exciting, enriching experience for both you and your little one. Not only does it teach vital life skills, but it also enhances the way babies and toddlers learn other skills, too. No one else reaches our high standards of professionalism, and no one else works harder to make sure you and your little one feel happy and safe. And we always incorporate lots of bonding, fun and socialising, so you can be sure that a Water Baby is a happy baby!

Classes across Shropshire, Mid Wales & The Black Country are run by Heidi Hunter-Cope. With a PhD in Business Psychology that led to a global career in helping employees focus on their goals and objectives, when she decided that her own goal in life was “to smile more”, she knew just what to do: throw it all in, and re-train as a Water Babies teacher.

“My own children, Zac and Max, attended classes from 2005,” she explains, “and for 4 years they were the highlight of our week. I just love the fun of it: the excitement of going underwater and the amazing distances the children could swim from incredibly early on.”

Heidi’s husband, Chris, is sticking to computers for the time being. But since he works from home, he's always on hand to help out with anything to do with technology - look out for him at the next underwater photo shoot!

The wonderfully enthusiastic Sue, Laura, Ruth, Fi & Heidi are the friendly voices at the end of the phone. A team of highly qualified teachers – Heidi, Fi, Laura (the same Heidi, Fi & Laura from the office!), Em C, Em W, Nicki, Mary, Petra, Paige T, Paige H, Kate, Amy & Anne-Marie completes the Water Babies Crew. They’d love to hear from you, so why not give them a call? Keep up to date with our latest news on our facebook page and follow us on Instagram for all the behind the scenes action!

Local news

Our Winter courses are now underway but we still have spaces to join if you are keen to start lessons with your little (or not-so-little) one!

Your Water Babies journey can last just over 4 years. From splashy beginnings to swimming superstars you'll both have lots of fun. Through the magical underwater adventures you'll watch your little one progress to learning to swim independently.

For a monthly fee of £56.83 you can swim your way through 17 Chapters of Water Babies lessons. Each Chapter consists of 11 half-hour sessions following a programme of skills that builds on the skills learnt from one lesson to the next. You will also be invited to attend a complementary underwater photo shoot, receive an 'Our Magical water Babies Story' book, a car sun blind & Bubba bath thermometer. At the end of each Chapter your little one will receive a cloth 'chapter badge' for their achievements.

When your Water Baby completes all 17 Chapters they will receive their very own Water Babies graduation pack which includes a graduation T-shirt!

Children aged 1-4 years can join our classes at any time so please give us a call to arrange a free taster session.
